  "The Dead Do Not Sleep Soundly in the West Country."
  
  Sabine Baring-Gould was one of the most versatile minds of the 19th century, but it was in the realm of the supernatural that his imagination truly flickered with a dark, cold light. A Book of Ghosts is a cornerstone of Victorian weird fiction, moving away from simple "jump scares" to explore the lingering, uncomfortable presence of those who refuse to leave this world behind.
  
  The Master of the Folkloric Fright: Baring-Gould's ghosts are not mere optical illusions; they are manifestations of history, guilt, and the rugged landscape itself. Drawing on his deep knowledge of English folklore and antiquarian history, he crafts stories where the supernatural feels as tangible as the ancient stone walls and foggy marshes of Devon and Cornwall. His work excels at the "slow burn" of dread—where a simple domestic object or a misunderstood local legend becomes the herald of something truly unsettling.
  
  A contemporary of M.R. James and Bram Stoker, Baring-Gould offers a more grounded, yet equally terrifying, vision of the afterlife. This volume is an essential cornerstone for any library of classic ghost stories, Victorian Gothic, and supernatural fiction.

  Jamaica and Ireland at the turn of the eighteenth century: a man convicted of a killing he did not do, transported, and a woman who will not accept the verdict. Parker was Canadian-born, settled in England, sat in Parliament for eighteen years and was knighted; he wrote the colonial world as an administrator's son rather than a tourist, and the court-martial here is procedurally exact.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Paul Bäumer is nineteen when his schoolmaster talks his whole class into enlisting. Within weeks the boys learn what their teachers never told them: that a generation can be destroyed by the war even when it escapes the shells. 
   
  At the front Paul and his friends fight for food, boots, and cigarettes, and are shelled for days at a time in trenches they cannot leave. Kemmerich dies in the field hospital and his good English boots pass to the next man. Kat, the old soldier who can find a roast goose in an empty countryside, becomes closer to Paul than his own family. On leave Paul sits in his childhood bedroom among his books and finds he has nothing left to say to anyone at home. 
   
  Then he is trapped in a shell hole with a French soldier he has stabbed, and has to lie beside him for a day and a night while the man dies. 
   
  First published in 1929 and banned and burned in Germany four years later, Erich Maria Remarque's novel is the greatest work of fiction to come out of the First World War and one of the most powerful anti-war books ever written. This unabridged audiobook edition presents the complete classic English translation by A. W. Wheen.
